#24

The more admirable person out of Timothy Treadwell and Aaron Ralston is Aaron Ralston because he had to cut his own arm off to live when all he wanted to do was go canoneering and to not die doing it where as Timothy died playing around with bears and showing people that these animals aren't meant to be treated as pets. Aaron was a bigger admirable person and a lot stronger than most people in this day and age.

#20 technolgy and personal lives

What do you think will be the impact of technology on peoples' lives as we progress? will this be a good thing overall? explain
The impact of technology on peoples lives will result in us being super lazy and making it so we lose the ability to communicate with other humans. It will eventually eat away our social lives and make it so we are hermits in our homes.

1. How has (and will)  technology changed the taxi, travel, lodging, banking and manufacturing industries in the past decade or so?
Technology has changed the taxi, travel, lodging, banking and manufacturing industries by allowing it to be more effective and fast and allowing for easier access to vacations and making it easier to book ahead of time. Technology is making it cheaper.

 2. Uber? good idea or bad idea . explain
I think Uber is a bad idea because you don't know what the person is capable of doing to you when you get in there car, and what if you get in an accident and you are seriously injured or dead. Other than that its just down right creepy.

#17 Keystone Pipeline

The Keystone XL Pipeline Project is a proposed 1,179-mile (1,897 km), 36-inch-diameter crude oil pipeline, beginning in Hardisty, Alta., and extending south to Steele City, Neb. The keystone pipeline is controversial because it will be running through farm land and there will always be the possibility of an oil spill.  It is also controversial to The Sand Hills region of Nebraska which is an area of sand dunes and a National Natural Landmark.  Another complaint of environmentalists, which caught the President's attention, is possible contamination of the Ogallala Aquifer. This is a wetland ecosystem that spans eight states, including Nebraska. It also lies on XL's proposed route. The aquifer is a fresh water reserve that supplies drinking water to 2 million citizens in the surrounding area. In my opinion I do think it should be built to bring my revenue into Canada and provide jobs for those who are still unemployed after the 2008 recession this is exactly what we need to boost our economy and allow for us to be where we were being 2008.

#16 the world of work

  1. In my opinion a good job has an environment worth coming to and that you enjoy what you do with the help of the fellow employees and employer looking out for you. A good job constitutes enjoying waking up in the morning to head of to work and knowing that your not just going to make money.
  2. In ten years I hope I see myself in a dental office with a nice 9-5 job assisting the dentist and still having time to go home to my husband and kids to have the social interaction everyone needs through out life.
  3. It seems like a good choice for me because I know how much family means and how much looking after them financially and emotionally means.
